Overview

Stanly County Detention Center uses NCIC for all video visitation. You can visit on-site at the facility kiosks for free, or connect from home through remote video for a fee. On-site evening visits are divided by inmate last name and gender, so the night you visit depends on who you’re visiting. All visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance through NCIC. Walk-ins are not accepted.

Which Visit Schedule Applies to You

The on-site evening visit schedule depends on the person you’re visiting. Before you book, figure out which category they fall into:

WhoDay
Inmate workers and general population last names A-LTuesday evening
Female inmatesWednesday evening
Inmate workers and general population last names M-ZThursday evening

If the person is an inmate worker, they may appear on Tuesday’s schedule regardless of last name. The daytime on-site kiosk schedule (Monday through Friday, 9 AM to noon) is not restricted by last name or gender, so it works for anyone during those hours.

Remote video visits from home are available every day including Saturday and Sunday, 9 AM to 8:30 PM. These have no last-name or gender restrictions.

On-Site Kiosk Visits (Free)

Evening slots (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday): 6:00, 6:20, 6:40, 7:00, 7:20, and 7:40 PM. Each slot is 20 to 30 minutes. On-site visits are free.

Daytime slots (Monday through Friday): 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Use the kiosks inside the facility lobby. No daytime slots Saturday or Sunday.

You must be at the facility kiosk to use these slots. The visit happens on a screen at the jail, not through your phone or computer at home.

Remote Video Visits from Home (Paid)

Remote visits run every day including weekends, 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM. You connect from your smartphone, tablet, or computer using the NCIC app or website.

Cost: Approximately $7.50 for a 30-minute session (based on $0.25 per minute) plus a $2.00 connection fee. The exact rate is shown before you confirm.

Remote visits are convenient when you can’t travel to Albemarle, but they do cost money. On-site kiosk visits are always free when you can make the trip.

If You’re Running Late or Need to Cancel

NCIC handles scheduling. If you need to cancel or reschedule, log in to your NCIC account and make changes before the 24-hour window closes. If you have trouble, call NCIC at 800-943-2189.

If you miss a scheduled visit, it may count against the person’s visit for that period. Confirm the cancellation policy at ncic.com or by calling 800-943-2189.

Technical Help for Remote Visits

  • Make sure your NCIC account is active and funded (if applicable).
  • Check your internet connection.
  • Make sure the NCIC app is updated to the latest version.
  • Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa.

If it still doesn’t work, call NCIC at 800-943-2189 before your visit slot expires.
